To clean aluminum surfaces effectively and safely, use a mild soap or detergent mixed with warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that can scratch the surface. Gently scrub the surface with a soft cloth or sponge, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. For stubborn stains, consider using a specialized aluminum cleaner or vinegar solution. Always dry the surface immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help prevent the build-up of dirt and grime, keeping your aluminum surfaces looking their best.
